Senior Tories said the general election will be a story of two nations, with the country split down similar lines of the EU referendum.

A Tory minister told The Sun: “The further away from London you go, the better it gets for us”.

As Labour confidence continues to rise, shadow chancellor John McDonnell insisted he was “10 out of 10, we are going to win”.

Detailing Labour’s plan for government yesterday, Shadow Home Secretary Diane Abbott said: “In the event of a hung parliament we are clear that we would seek to govern as a minority Government.

“That would mean that the Lib Dems and the Greens would scrutinise every piece of legislation on its own merit”.

Tory Cabinet minister David Gauke said Ms Sturgeon and Sir Vince’s declaration “underlines the very real risk that Jeremy Corbyn could be Prime Minister next Friday”.

Mr Gauke added: “With the stakes so high, and with the Brexit negotiations starting just 11 days after the election, it is simply not worth taking the risk of waking up to Jeremy Corbyn and his coalition of chaos”.

It also emerged yesterday that Labour incumbent in the Tory-Labour marginal of Enfield North Joan Ryan has told her voters: “Realistically no one thinks Theresa May will not be Prime Minister”.

In an extraordinary letter to former Labour voters, Ms Ryan said that her door-stepping has made her realise that they “have more confidence in Theresa May as Prime Minister than they would have in Jeremy Corbyn”.
